## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tomba-api-tomba-domain-status-ed2ca0c6
```

Example prompt: Can you check the status and availability of the domain acme.com using Tomba — I want to know if it's active before I start prospecting emails there?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify whether a domain is active and registered before investing in email discovery or outreach campaigns. Prefer this over the Email Verifier when you want domain-level status rather than validating a specific email address.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed domain name returns error
- Domain not found returns empty or not-found status
- Network or API timeout returns error response
- Missing required domain parameter returns validation error

## How this service works

## Example request
